What's great about it: bluetooth option
What's not so great: the online price

"i did get this headphone 6 months ago, i found it in store for 26.99 , then i needed another one , but it was already out of stock , i checked online for 6 months . but i found that price is the double on the online price.
just this week by accident i went to shop in a store fare from my home , then i found that same , in store the price is the half of the online price.
very strange . normally online is cheaper ,but not in this case.
anyway it is good deal."

What's great about it: Easy to use, easy to where and work the way I want it too
What's not so great: Haven't found anything bad yet

"Bought these to use while working out with my Ipod Touch (3.0) and it works great. Also pairs simultaneously with my Blackberry so I can use it with both devices which is great! The guy at Best Buy said it wouldn't work with the Blackberry because it wasn't compatible but it works fantastically. Very pleased!"

What's great about it: Does not go over the head so hair is not messed up. Easy to put on and take off.
What's not so great: Part to attach ear pad to headset is not available separately.

"This headset is great for me at work - no wires or cords and is great with my laptop. The fact that it does not go over my head allows me to take them off and not worry about what my hair looks like. Good sound quality yet able to adjust the volume if I want to hear some of what is going on around me.

Only bad thing is the ear piece that is detachable is not very strong and you cannot aquire them separately from the headset. I believe you should be able to get replacement parts especially for things that can get dirty over time."

What's great about it: Quality of build and sound
What's not so great: They kind of squash my giant head, and the mic sounds a bit like a speakerphone

"I was so pleasantly surprised when I picked these up and tried them out. They work fantastically. The sound is strong, though not in line with really fine headphones that cost much more money. On the other hand, they sound as good as or better than many more expensive phones. I'm wearing them as I type. Love 'em!

The only problem is that if you have a size 7+ head, they might be a bit tight. It's OK, though. I've gotten used to them."

What's great about it: Easy to set up with cell phone, great price, nice fit
What's not so great: control buttons not easy to operate, computer set up problems.

"The price is good. my Palm pre phone had problems with my plug in headphones so I purchased these bluetooth headphones as a work around.

The earphones paired effortlessly with my palm pre. The current price at best buy is excellent. I can hear calls pefectly (and they say they can hear me crystal clear).

Only complaint is I havent figured out how to pair with my computer. Headphones do not come with any software to do this but software is mentioned in the ops manual.

control buttons are not very ergonomic but the fit is very comfortable though not adjustable.
I am pleased overall and they meet my main purpose.

I think they perform great for the great price.

Good entry model if you want to see if bluetooth headphones are what you want before investing in the more "pricey" brands."

What's great about it: loud, high quality sound ,good price, light, dont make you look stupid like other blutooth headset, comfertable
What's not so great: blutooth transmitter broke after about 4 months but i just got a new $20 one

"so many good things if you are looking for a good new blutooth headset i have tried alot and this is the far best i tried
works on iTunes,windows media center, skype, phones,and ipod touch 3.0 firmware
the buttons on it work for all the above except the ipod only lets the play/pause work
and for the price it cant be beat i have had this for about 4 months and just recently the usb blutooth receiver broke but it was a simple fix by buying a new one
if you are looking for a Bluetooth headset or just a good new computer headset i strongly suggest this"

goes great with bluetooth MP3 player

What's great about it: Great quality for low price
What's not so great: nothing really

"This thing is great! I'm glad I bought it, it is worth every penny. I use it with my Samsung P2. It's durable and has good battery life. They fit pretty comfortably on your ears. As for the sound quality...it's good but you get what you pay for. P2 users be warned that you can't use DNSe or the FM radio with bluetooth headphones! Other than, I'm very pleased. At first I was apprehensive about buying from Insignia and not Sony, but not anymore. I'd definately recommend this product."

What's great about it: Sound quality good, long battery life, pretty fair distance to go from broadcasting device
What's not so great: Sometimes lags behind music, a little uncomfortable, trouble pairing with devices

"Well first of all, I think overall these are a pretty good pair of headphones. The price for them is probably worth the way they act and work. IMPORTANT- DO NOT BUY THESE HEADPHONES IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BLUETOOTH ENABLED COMPUTER OR IPOD OR WHATEVER, THEY DO NOT COME WITH THE BLUETOOTH ADAPTER AND CD LIKE IT USED TO. If you don't mind spending an extra $20 dollars on buying a bluetooth adapter for your non bluetooth computer, you can go ahead and get these.

Good things-First of all, I know some of you, like me, worried that maybe these headphones would have bad sound quality and all that, but I assure you, if you have the STEREO part of the headphones paired and connected to your computer of iphone or whatever, quality is pretty good, even for some of you with high expectation of quality. Second, the battery life is also rather good, it lasts about 10 hrs on a full charge when listening to music and 12 hrs when just talking. You can go pretty far away from your device with these, at least, I don't mind the distance, 30 feet is pretty suitable for me, when you actually see how far 30 feet is.

Bad things-unfortunately, these headphones have a lot of bad things to. First of all, pairing them with your computer is not an easy task. I heard some of you say that its hard to pair with a computer with VISTA on it, which may be the problem, since I also have Vista. A lot of times even after following the directions and all of that, the headphones always "close the connection" which would greatly irritate me. But finally after lots of trouble and finding other ways to connect, they actually did something nice for me. I dunno how I did it, but as soon as I turn them on, they AUTOMATICALLY connect right to my computer, with no problem at all, I don't have to life a finger. I know thats a good thing, but I don't know how I did that and it may not work like that for everyone, so just be careful. Second, I don't know why on earth you would design it like that, because there is almost know way for you to lay your head back unless you get the back part of the headphones in the part of your neck and head that form an arch when you like lean your head so that you were say looking at the ceiling. Third is that when the headphones might miss some of the sent connection, they tend to try to speed up with the music. Basically, whenever the sound being sent from the computer to the headphones is disrupted for some reason, which may happen a lot sometimes and only lasts a couple seconds, the headphones will LITERALLY SPEED UP to try to catch up with the broadcasting music if you want to say that. If you have never heard what it sounds like to try to speed up the music, it sounds HORRIBLE. When it happens I have to take them off because the way the music gets messed up when the headphones speed up the sound. Fourth, headphones are supposed to be made to be used in public, but these ones sure weren't meant for that. Even if you listen to your music softly, you will notice if you take them off, you can still hear sound faintly, and thats what aggravates people the most, just faintly hearing some music from headphones. Like I said, you don't even have to play them loud, people can still hear it, even if your ears block out some of the sound.

Basically, you can plainly tell I have more problems with them then i do with them being good. But in case you didn't notice, you can still bear with some of the problems. So just think about all those things before buying these. And in conclusion, I think these headphones ARE worth the money, but ONLY if these are you first pair of WIRELESS headphones."

What's great about it: They were cheap, worked at first, fully functional
What's not so great: They stopped working after only about 2 weeks, the sound Quality wasn't so great

"I went to bestbuy in search of a pair of Sony stereo bluetooth headphones and ended up leaving with this set because it was cheaper than what the bestbuy people were trying to sell me. I thought these would work great, which they did. I got them for only $30 but after 2 weeks or so they stopped working. After about the first charge they wouldn't turn on anymore. The sound quality was ok for a cheap headset, the connectivity was pretty good. It does go at least 30 feet in a house. They were pretty comfortable, but after a few hours they start to hurt. It even connected to my cellphone and macbook. I got them mainly for wireless audio on my ipod touch, which it also connected to without an issue. I think that the reason they no longer work is a defect in the charger connector. It charges via a USB adapter and it won't take a charge."

What's great about it: Just works, good range, not bulky, clear sound
What's not so great: Not adjustable, buttons not easy to press - volume etc

"Had this for 2 weeks now and using it now listening to a podcast. Works great no issues as yet. Haven't tried using with phone calls yet (iPhone 3gs 32gb) but matches up pretty well. Using with movies on my phone the sound is slightly behind what's on screen but that may be the technology I believe. Picked it up on sale for $29 and def worth it. Lasts me all week using it a couple hours a night (working out of town). Overall I recommend this, better if you can get it on sale."

"This headset gave me over 50ft of unobstructed range, and hours of use. this was a very good purchase, considering price for quality. The built in mic, works amazingly durring phone calls, and it switches seamlessly between phione calls and music. As long as you have tough ears, you can wear this for hours. It's a little on the heavy side, but other than that, they're awesome!"

What's great about it: Great bass response when listening to music with heavy bass. Plus, it brings out the bass in music with not much bass.
What's not so great: Poor sound quality when listening to anything that isn't characteristic to hip hop/rap. Even R&B sounds bad in these hea

"Let me just break it down for you; I'll make it short and to the point.

Pros (good):
-Great bass response; easy to tell which songs are heavy on lows.
-Very nice range; was able to go everywhere inside of my house without the signal even fading.

Cons (bad):
-Very poor sound quality in everything except for bass. The sound from rock songs, any loud song (especially with cymbals) automatically distorted almost to the point that you couldn't tell what song you were listening to.
-Terrible lag when swithching songs and especially playing games on iPhone/iPod. It would also lose signal and become completely silent for a couple seconds even though the device was right in my hand.
-Foreward/backward buttons not compatible with iPod touch for some reason. All they did was skip ahead on the same song a couple seconds. The pause button didn't even respond so I had to manually pause onthe iPod.

Overall, this was an ok product, it never ran out of battery life for as long as I had it. Then again, I took it back the day after I bought it. Also, the great distance I was able to travel from my iPod allowed me to not worrying about endangering my iPod (on my hip). If you just listen to hip hop/rap, I highly recommend them. They won't sound good playing anything else."
